Greece

An Investment in a World Full of Benefits

Greece is located in southeastern Europe, with its borders touching the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Aegean Sea to the east. Its mountainous landscape, awe-inspiring natural beauty, historical significance, and architectural icons have captivated many.
These factors have positioned Greece as one of the most desirable locations in the European Union for individuals seeking residency through investment since establishing its Golden Visa Program in 2013, renewable every five years.
To obtain residency through investment in Greece, individuals must buy a residential property and maintain ownership for as long as they wish to retain their residency status. Investors are eligible to receive their Golden Visa within six months, which grants them various benefits such as unrestricted travel within the Schengen area, the ability to establish offshore bank accounts, and the option to register a company in Greece without needing physical relocation.
Besides the ability to add the entire family to the same application, this offers the advantages of accessing top-notch healthcare services and excellent educational systems. Furthermore, after residing in Greece for seven years, applicants also have the opportunity to apply for Greek citizenship.
